You know yourself that for embedded connections on open source product 
any credential validation is not reliable - everyone can rebuild 
required dynamic library commenting out 2-3 lines where needed and 
become SYSDBA. I think that the only reliable thing for embedded is 
rights of OS user. Use of them to check access to host filesystem 
appears native.

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who
bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM

apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched!
